Till Death - Ace Merrill (BOOK 2)

Going back

"You sure we have everything?!" Oceane shouted as she came almost storming down the stairs in her high heels, sending the clatter through the house.

"For fucks sake Stell! Yes I've fucking got everything!" Ace snapped back as she approached him. "Now for the tenth time, get in the fucking car." He groaned out as he gestured to the front door, wide open.

"Are we going yet?" Eyeball appeared in the doorway.

Both guys were dressed in their smartest suits as they looked at Oceane.

"Fucking tell her!" Ace snapped at him as he gestured to Oceane.

She glared at him in turn before looking back to Eyeball.

"I'm making sure we got everything!" She snapped back.

"Bags packed and loaded in the car, baby strapped in and already attempting to bite Billy's finger. Everything's set Artois." Eyeball shrugged slightly.

Oceane took a deep breathe. "You're sure? Like everything's all ready?"

"Just waiting on you ma'am." Eyeball answered.

Ace glared at her. "Told you."

She returned the glare. "At least he can keep me calm." She snapped back as she stormed to the door, grabbing her handbag on the way.

"Well fuck him and have his kid then." Ace grumbled as he followed her out.

Oceane went straight to the closest car where Charlie held the door open for her. She thanked him as she climbed in as he looked up at Ace.

"Don't lock up yet!" He shouted as he shut the door behind Oceane. "I gotta pee!"

Ace groaned loudly as Charlie quickly raced back into the house.

"What the hells with you?" Eyeball quietly snapped at his best friend. "Ain't this supposed to be a happy thing?"

Ace grumbled under his breathe. "I just don't wanna go back."

Eyeball stared at him confused.

"Life was shit back there compared to what it is now." Ace mumbled as the pair stood waiting for Charlie. "Like here I've got her and Austin. Back there I had stupid one night stands, no job and fuck all going for me. I don't wanna go back to that."

"You're not going back to that." Eyeball mumbled as he edged closer to his best friend. "You're going back with her and your son, with your job too."

Ace shrugged it off slightly. "I just can't shake the feeling somethings gonna get fucked up."

Eyeball shook his head. "Come on, ain't nothing bad gonna happen. It's a happy reason." He tried to reassure Ace.

"You know we ain't been back to Castle Rock since all that bullshit with Jordan?"

Eyeball nodded. "Gotta admit, it's gonna be weird to see everyone again."

"Exactly!" Ace fired out. "They all still remember us as the cobras, we ain't that anymore."

"So let's fucking show them." Eyeball gave him a small smile.

Ace groaned slightly. "I wish we had her old crew."

Eyeball laughed. "They all moved on mate, not to mention Austin got discharged and took early retirement."

Ace nodded slowly. "I still remember that day."

Eyeball nodded by his side. "Not being funny, I still reckon he could beat our arses, even with one arm now."

Ace nodded again. "Fucking easily."
